The large rotary control bottom centre adjusts the console (main) monitor level, the level indication is shown at the bottom
of the touchscreen. To the left of the monitor level control are 2 buttons labelled ‘Mono’ and ‘Stereo’ pressing either of
these will replace the normal 5.1 surround output with a Mono or Stereo Downmix. To the right of the monitor level control
are 2 buttons labelled ‘Dim’ and ‘Cut’ which reduce the level of the monitor output by a set amount or mute it altogether.
Just to the right of the Dim & Cut buttons is the ‘PFL’ level control the level of which is also displayed at the bottom of
the touchscreen. There is also provision for separate loudspeakers for monitoring the console’s 5.1 PFL feed /Return
Talkback LS and 5.1 AFL LS. The level controls for these appear on the context based rotary controls together with the
Dim level and Dim, Cut and ‘PFL to Mon’ buttons when the Console Monitor Page is accessed.
